[UA] By the Light of Dawn

[Infamous36]

Hello Dukes and Peons:

This is Chance! IT's been awhile, but I can honestly say I have enjoyed
whats been posted here and on-site. Keep up the great works!

As for myself and the purpose of this email, I recently began a campaign of
UA with two newbie players and thought I would share what I had with
everyone thus far.

IT might be a little large, but here we go....

::::::::::::::::::

In 1990 Alex Able missed his chance to ascend. This prompted the creation
of The New Inquisition, allowing Able a much larger reach into this new
world. In 1991 he had another opportunity to change the events in 1990. It
came to the attention of a man named Trevor Morris that there was pond in
Ontario Canada, that the correct ritual actions were performed, it would
allow an individual or individuals the ability to travel to a designated
point in time. Trevor knowing his boss's intentions offered to go to 1990
and make an attempt to fix whatever happened. After a few months of
crawling and beating every sentance of info out of who they could, Trevor's
cell was ready and headed into the woods of Eastern Ontario. The only thing
they forgot to do before doing so was send a report to Able. Something
Trevor always forgot to do.

Father Brian McKenny was a quiet and generous man. Always spending time
with whom ever called at his church. He loved the small community of Smiths
Falls, and was content with his quiet life. That was until the Cecilites
came... The Cecelites came in the night, bringing the wrath of God with
them. They burned an entire home only blocks from McKenny's church. McKenny
was told during the funeral service for the family of 3 that died. That
they were not in the caskets he was putting in the ground and if he were to
know more, he would have to come with them. That was in 1986. McKenny
joined the Order after the proof of the family's allegiance with Hell was
shown to him, and took up his cross and bible the moment the call came. He
was to go only a few miles outside of Smiths Falls, to some farmland there.
There was a gateway to Hell releasing demon's that needed to be confirmed.
This was in 1991.

Officer Lewis McDowell, of the Ontario Provincial Police(OPP) patrolled a
stretch of highway along near endless farmland. It was early when the call
came. Single mom Sasha Williams was calling from her farmhouse out RR#4,
said some strange people were marching through her fields. McDowell
responded to the call and headed for RR#4.

Sasha Williams, single mother of a 12 yr old son. Was up early, getting
ready for work when the beams of flashlights cutting across her field
caught her attention. She called in to the OPP to report the tresspassing
and asked for an officer to attend. When Officer McDowell arrived, she had
already come to the assumption that it was probably just some kids, and
offered to show McDowell where they went.

"It Goes Down at Dawn"

Trevor's cell arrived at the pond, right where it was supposed to be, in
the center of a clearing in the trees. Trevor started directing his cell
around the area. All but one of the other 3 men had no clue about what was
really going down, but that was insignificant when compared to acheiving
Alex Abel's goal. 

Father McKenny used to love the woods as a child, and ever used to hunt
with his father in these woods themselves. So he knew his way about the
area, even if his memory was a bit foggy. His cross around his neck and a
bible in his hand he marched as quietely as he could through the brush, his
old hunting rifle slung over his shoulder. He marched towards the sounds
ahead of him.


Officer McDowell and Sasha walked together through the field towards the
woods. Carrying flashlights they simply talked about local happenings in
the past while, and how boys will be boys. Both suspecting nothing but kids
back there.
----

This would be the trade mark moment where everyone discover's everyone else
at jsut about the same time.

Trevor and his cell were just about finished the ritual when Officer
McDowell, and Sasha walked into the clearing. At first Trevor's boy's just
stood there looking between one another. Then when McDowell asked them how
the morning was going, they all drew guns on him. McDowell has his gun out
jsut as quick and everyone was in a stalemate. Sasha shook with fright and
tried to step away behind McDowell as he tried to calm the situation.
Trevor kept on going with the ritual, refusing to stop what he was doing.
Not that anyone really noticed at that point. There was much yelling for
everyone to drop their guns, and Sasha cried, and Trevor just mumbled to
himself.

It was quite a site for Father McKenny when he entered the clearing. One of
Trevor's men turned a gun on him, while another simply created a gun out of
thin air with the Devil's magick and turned it to him, while aiming at the
officer with the other. Seeing the diablerie present in the area McKenny
raised his rifle and fired.

The ensueing firefight lasted only a few seconds, with McKenny wounding the
adept, McDowell taking down one and wounding another before he was wounded
and lost consciousness. Sasha ran for the pond, attempting to dive into it
for cover and was shot by one of Trevor's men before he died. Trevor on the
otherhand completed the ritual with only a few screwups due to flying
bullets but disapeared when the morning sunlight hit the pond. Father
McKenny drug the adept back through the bushes with him for 'questioning'
and radioed the OPP for backup with Officer McDowell's radio. Sasha's body
floated in the center of the pond, her body ice cold as if it had been left
there for days.

(A few new members of the Underground)

Back in 1991 there was some sort of gang shooting in Ontario, 3 men and an
innocent woman died, three men are missing... Time to tie up a few loose
ends.
(Where the PC's fit in)

Vincent Smith, Simon Lee and Areanne Vearson wake up in a hotel room in New
York. You know the situation. All three have never met, nor have they any
idea of how they got here. 

Vincent is a down on his luck cashier/stockboy in a local mall department
store. His parents abandoned him a few years back and his girlfriend just
left him for his best friend.

Simon Lee, a young karatee student from Vancouver BC who has just woken up
in a city he's never been to in his life and is duely paniced.

Areanne is an interesting story all together when she was a child she was
in an accident , she doesn't remeber much of it, but she survived. Barely.
Ever since though she has had the innate ability to get 'visions' from
things she touches if she concentrates hard enough. Which recently have
caused her alot of distress and confusion.


So the three wake up with no clue where they are nor where they've been, as
the past 4 days have been a blurr. Simon and Vincent wake up with 6 tarot
cards in each of their pockets, and notive a Death card taped to the room
mirror. Areanne metnions that thats unfair symbology, as her nickname is
'Mirror'. While Areanna herself didin't wake up with tarot cards, she woke
up with Police caution tape tied to her wrists, and cut in the center.
(Almost like handcuffs). 

After a whlie of debate and conversation between the three they decide to
go and see a fortune teller to read the cards they have been given, as
Areanna can only figure out so much. They find that these cards tell fof
certain occurances that will befall the individual carrier, which created a
bit of confusion amoungst them.

After this Areanna recieves a call from (apparently) Salem PD. Her
hometown. Her parents have gone missing. Everything is left in the house,
but they have not been seen in quite some time. The officer seemed quite
interested in where Areanna was, aside from her letting the officer know
she had not seen her parents in years.

Vincent attmepted to go to work only to find that the store had been robbed
earlier that morning, and the manager and a cashier, (both good friends of
his) had died. At the scene Areanna picked up a few scattered shotgun
shells after sneaking onto the scene and had a vision that related to a man
she had seen before sliding a tarot card into the service entrance of the
store. 

The man Areanna has seen was from another vision she had earlier that day
when they all met. Vincent's car they decided was the car that brought them
there in the first place. As there were cigarette butts in the ashtray, and
noone smoked, and surgical gloves on the dashboard. Touching the gloves
Areanna got a vision of two men wearing gloves and facemasks, one large
man, one skinny man. The large man carried Vincent, while the skinny man
carried her, wrists bound with polive tape. Then at the snap of the skinny
man's fingers, Simon Lee crawled out of the trunk and hobbled after him, a
black object wrapped around his neck.

WEll so far this is what has occured. The players are into it, and I'm
gunning right along side them.

I hope this hasn't bored anyone, and I'd appreciate any comments and
suggestions that you may have.

I also appologize if this ends up in the digest twice. as my email provider
sometimes doublesends.

Thanks again!

Chance
